<h5>Purpose</h5> The Journal of Arthroplasty brings together under one cover the clinical and scientific foundations for joint replacement. The Journal solicits manuscripts of the highest quality from all areas of scientific endeavor that relate to joint replacement or the treatment of its complications, including those dealing with clinical series and experience, prosthetic design, biomechanics, biomaterials, metallurgy, biologic response to arthroplasty materials in vivo and in vitro , and case reports that allow unique insight into any aspect of arthroplasty. It is the purpose of the Journal to present material to prac-ticing orthopaedic surgeons that will keep them abreast of developments in the field, prove useful in the care of patients with major joint disability, and aid in understanding the scientific foundation of this subspecialty area of orthopaedics. The international Editorial Advisory Board and Editorial Board span the anatomic areas under consideration. Their participation ensures that each issue of The Journal of Arthroplasty provides the reader with timely, peer-reviewed articles of the highest quality.</P><h5>Online submission of manuscripts using the Elsevier Electronic System (EES)</h5> As of August 2004, authors and reviewers may submit their manuscripts and reviews electronically via the Elsevier Electronic System, which can be accessed at http://www.ees.elsevier.com/joa .
